DEVICE FOR MANIPULATING GUN-TRIGGERS.

Application filed November 27, 191 1.

To /77 vr/iom if m (1 convey")? Be itknown that I. llnxs'r Gnouo Srtinno'r, engineer. a subject of the German Einperor. residing at 1 \Vinkelstelderstrasse, Dusseldorf, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Mani 'iulating Gun-Triggers: and I do hereby declare the following to be a full clear. and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention r lates to a device for manipulating gun triggers by means of cables such as Bowden cables.

The object of the invention is to enable the trigger to be drawn from several places and for that purpose the trigger is under the influence of a piece connected in a special manner with a plurality of cables adapted to be drawn independently of each other.

;.n fii llllfldlnltllt of the invention is represented on the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is a plan view of a gun breech provided with a device according to the invention. Fig. 2 is a section through a device constructed according to nrv invention in the position of rest. Fig. 5 is a similar section in the position of the parts after having drawn one of the cables. 7

As the constrm-tion of the trigger is of no importance for the invention, it is not shown in tl accompanying drawing. lt may be a spring trigger oi any known construction which is operated by a lever a) pivotally mounted on the gun breech a. In the position of i -.-;t a spring pin 0 movable within a sleeve (1 fastened on the cradled rests against the trigger lever b and is in engagement with a hell crank lever f.

lv'ithiu a casing it fastened to the cradle a pin 9 is lengthwise movable and held in its position of rest by means of a spring i.

' The pin y is provided at one end with a hook is for engaging the bell-crank lever f, and at its other 'end, with a disk or piston Z lyil ig Specification of Letters Patent.

within an enlargementm of the casingh. The disk or piston Z is provided with a plurality of holes through which headed Bowdencables 'n are loosely passed in such manner that by drawing one of the Bowden-cables the disk or piston Z is moved from the position shown in Fig. 2 to the position shown in Fig. 3. the other Bowden-cables retaining their original position. By the said m0vement of the piston or disk Z the pin 9 is moved longitudinally and thereby the bell crank lever f is rocked so as to press the pin (1 in the direction against the trigger lever b whereby the latter is moved so as to fire the gun. lVhen the drawn Bowdencable is loosened the spring 2' return. the pin 9 and the disk I into their original position so that after the trigger has again been put under tension the gun can again be fired by drawing any one of the Bowden-cables.

It is self evident that the several Bowdencables may be led to ditl'erent places, so that the gun can he fired from any desired place.

'lhe plurality of Bowden-cables may be cminected inunediately with the pin 0 without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having thus described my invention What I claim is: 7 I

In a device for manipulating gun triggers, the combination of a trigger lever, a member engaging the trigger lever, means for operating such member comprising a bell-crank lever, a sliding pin en aging said bellcrank lever. a piston-like disk to which said pin is connected having a plurality of holes therein, and headed cables loosely passed through said holes.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
